Cluster Analysis

SPEAK TO A SCIENTIST

What is Cluster Analysis


Cluster analysis is a machine learning technique that involves grouping data points. Given a set of data points, a clustering algorithm can be used to classify each data point into a specific group in the image. In theory, the data points in the same group should have similar attributes and characteristics, while the attributes and characteristics of the data points in different groups should be highly different. Clustering is a method of unsupervised learning, and is a common technique used in multi-domain statistical data analysis. Cluster analysis is different from classification. Classification analysis is to divide elements into different types according to certain rules. The result of cluster analysis is unknown, different cluster analysis methods may get different classification results, or the same cluster analysis method but different variables analyzed will also get different cluster results. Commonly used clustering methods include: K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and second-order clustering, etc.

Applications of Cluster Analysis in Biology

As an important and commonly used technique in data mining, cluster analysis methods are often used in various fields. In the field of life sciences, cluster analysis techniques are used to analyze biological data (such as sequencing data, experimental result data, statistical data, etc.). It can help us study the properties and functions of genes and proteins, and provide help for exploring the mysteries of biology.

  • Effectively classify different gene sequence sets and identify functional genes.
  • Clustering the physicochemical properties of the protein according to the sequence can predict its function.
  • Infer the classification of plants and animals, infer the phylogenetic tree of the species, and gain the understanding of the inherent structure of the population.

What We Offer

CD Genomics provides different types of cluster analysis services to help you cluster gene expression data, cluster protein sequences, and construct systems development of trees, so as to understand the functions of related proteins and genes, and interpret the biological significance of gene sequences.

K-means clustering: also known as fast clustering, it selects a batch of clustering center points according to a certain method, and allows the cases to gather to the nearest cluster center point to form an initial classification and then adjust the unreasonable classification according to the principle of closest distance until the classification is reasonable.

Hierarchical clustering: also called systematic clustering. First, the cases (or variables) participating in the clustering are regarded as one category, and then gradually merged according to the clustering or similarity between the two categories, until all cases (or variables) are merged into one big category. In fact, the hierarchical clustering analysis results show the clustering process and classification results of each case. After hierarchical clustering, a cross-tabulation should be made to understand the characteristics of each category through the mean value of each category.
